Auto Complete Textbox or Editable Dropdown (VB style)

Hi,
Is there a way to have a "Auto Complete" textbox or a "editable"
dropdown?
Here is my problem.
I have a screen that need to have a list of 800+ employees. To be a
dropdown, that could be a lot of scrolling. and to enter the name in a
textbox leaves too many possible typos. So, is there a control that will do
a auto complete in the textbox as I type the name or have a combo box that I
could type and auto complete like in VB?

thanks.

Is this even possible? Ive tried a few things but none of them worked... I have a massive address database, i want the "Address" textbox to be auto complete but dont want to load all the names on first load... but show only the ones that start with the first letter typed (that is load only those ones into the autocomplete source to drastically reduce the load time from the sql server to the textbox by this simple filter) any suggestions?

Hello, I have written my own custom control and I want one of its properties to display as a dropdown list when clicked, so the user can select from the list, it would be similar to the asp textbox control which has a 'TextMode' property and when clicked on, displays as a dropdown list with 3 values, I want to have a similar type property with a dropdown style.
